as may have read the gallery is currently undergoing a major upgrade

there was some grief with the album linked

but now sorted and all features on the 80+ photos in the album should now be working ok

ups, had no clue you were gonna post it here Steve!

Wrote this info in 5 sloppy minutes, shurely some faults in there, if any of the other GBG-club runners read this article, please add any info I forgot and correct any wrongs.

Chea!! punky

yep be great if some of the locals who are members help expand

plus if anyone not local has been over there and would like to share their view on their travels and adventures am sure that it will be of interest to other members thumbsup.gif

Nice writeup!

Even if it's not strictly soul scene it maybe also worth mentioning that there's been a couple of mod and scooter events and garage/psyche-oriented dos over the years in Gothenburg. I don't have any exact dates for those.

The Soulastatic summer nighter in August is usually one of the highlights of the year. People travelling from the rest of the country, great venue and DJs, meeting up again after the summer, nice time of year too... looking forward to it already!

Another slightly related thing, Rodge and Fredrik from Soulful Lounge are now running a record store in the west side of GBG.

Have had a lot of good times and met both wonderful and weird people (sometimes both!) over the years...

Steve, additional DJ-names ended up in wrong place, please put them after Tommy (Oslo) to make it right!

Ok mate...

Sorted now... :hatsoff2:

Record shop is great and called: MAJORNAS SKIVHANDEL (Alvsborgsgatan 35) facebook page: https://www.facebook....9652852?sk=info

uh yes, this shop is very nice...when I was deejaying at the soulastatic summer special in I think 2008 I was happy to find there an very nice unknown which later on did even attract the attention of butch....

love gothenburg and the people involved, fabulous.

Info on airlines going out of Gothenborg and routes????

SAS fly direct from Heathrow and Manchester

BA fly direct from Heathrow

Easy Jet direct from Gatwick

Ryan Shit Air direct from Stanstead

I fly every week to Gothenburg from Heathrow, if booked in advance, £110 to £130 is typical

I stay in Gothia Towers Hotel every week

Jumpinjoan, yes its Joey Dunlop in the pink shirt,

Jim g, thats a bit pricey me thinks with SAS, easy Jet and Ryan Air to Gothenburg is about 30/40 ukp total if booked in advance.

Think paid around 110-120 or so from Belfast this Januray with Easyjet via Gatwick . so 4 journeys for that. that is January though when not many travelling.

Think 60-70 from England incl taxes if book in advance is a possible price. Easyjet much much nicer than Ryan and good legroom etc .

Nice writeup btw Punky :rolleyes: Cool with new record shop in Majorna as well that acc to reports seems to do well. Gothenburg is without a doubt the Northern Soul capital of Sweden. .

Just need to add Hermansson and Ludwig had a northern soul club ( tiny bit mod) before Real Side called Ace Club at haket . Can't remember for how long but def 6 months or more. all uptempo uptempo then, did my dj debut here, just bought a few reissues from Pete Smith and loaned the rest from Hermansson was a bit easier then to get a spot :thumbsup:

Few more guests On The Real Side had was Rob Messer, Christian B and Tommy Oslo, Sebban o Dutten Spinnin cat, Mick H, Kitch, Alex Jones, Irish Greg, Eddie Engel, P Havekin, T Jackson , Marc Forrest more names might pop up later.

Think yourself, Keith Money and George Wallace as well if remembver right Punky ?

Also Punky and I did a grt weekender at Rio Rio with Steve Cato over . what did we call that club just escaped memory ? Superb night that was.

Can def recomend the August event will be warm and nice as well. :shhh:

Yeah, Olof! Great with the fill ins,

Soulastatic DJ guests I forgot to mention is as you say , mighty Keith Money, Spiders Webs finest: George Wallace, and London resident Russell Paine (and hes playing again this coming saturday!)

The night we organised you and me Olof , belive we called it Soul Session, top night!

Hope to see you back soon, bro!

Jim g, thats a bit pricey me thinks with SAS, easy Jet and Ryan Air to Gothenburg is about 30/40 ukp total if booked in advance.

I live near heathrow (Marlow, Bucks) the company pay so it is OK for me

So, is there anywhere I can go on a Monday to Thursday night in Gothenburg for some soul!?
